NOTEThese elegant and rarely presented for sale "DUCHESS" Necklace and Earrings are featured in Julia C. Carroll's book "Costume Jewelry 202, " in a Trifari Advertisement, on page #243. This set was also featured in a separate "Jewels by Trifari" advertisement from 1951. Upon inspection of the Necklace, I noticed that a few Baguettes appear to have been replaced/re-glued....
These repairs do NOT take away from the overall beauty and Glamours presentation of the Necklace..... Other than the noted Necklace imperfection, I believe these pieces are in overall GOOD condition. They have all their adornments, their metals are not tarnished and they have no obvious defects. These pieces are all functional and have "normal wear" for their vintage age.
They have not been thoroughly detail cleaned/polished. Please see photos, as they are part of the description. If you have any questions, message me. Be sure to view all my other vintage pieces, from my grandmothers collection.....
